Can you use mineral spirit in your home oil tank?
If you want to blow up the house. Mineral spirits is much more flammable than home heating oil.
Is solidification of cooking oil an example of chemical change?
The heating itself is a pure physical change (of temperature), but excessive heating to higher temperatures may cause some chemical degradation. Hot olive oil is still olive oil, but degraded oil is not the same, just check the color (darkened) and taste it after cooling down (cardboard).
Could you separate water and petrol quickly without heating?
No, not quickly. You can separate oil from water by freezing it all.
Is mineral oil caustic when at high temperature?
at very high temperature above 200C, usually yes
If Oil thickens with a variant in temperature then why isn't BP Heating the crude oil and scooping it up as it thickens?
Because the oil thickens as it COOLS, not when its heated. Oil viscosity is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to temperature.
What is the freezing point of mineral water?
SUBSTANCE FREEZING POINT corn oil - 20 deg. C sunflower oil - 17 deg. C olive oil - 6 deg. C sesame oil - 6 deg. C peanut oil 3 deg. C palm oil 24.1 deg. C coconut oil 25.1 deg.
Why should mineral oil not be used as the heating fluid for determining the melting point of meso-stilbene dibromide?
harder to separate
How can you seprate oil from water?
Heating mineral oil that has been mixed with water will cause the water to evaporate. Since the mineral oil evaporates at higher temperatures than water, the water vapor can be collected first and stored in a separate container.
What are engine oil temperature ranges?
Normal operating temperature is 212 F ( 100 C) Syntetic oil is good until 260 F, mineral until 240 F
Where can one find home heating oil?

Where does babie oil come from?
Most "baby oils" are primarily made of mineral oil. To make mineral oil, gasoline and kerosene are removed from crude petroleum by heating, in a method call functional distillation. By using sulfuric acid, applying absorbents, and washing with solvents and alkalis, hydrocarbons and other chemicals are then removed.
